- Scandinavia has historically been known for high levels of social justices. Universal and tax-funded social security and health systems, state pension and free basic as well as higher education became fundamental elements in creating more equal societies. Moreover, housing sectors based on use value rather than exchange value have historically been key to the development of Scandinavian welfare states. In this tradition, housing is seen as an essential necessity rather than only a commodity that can be exchanged for individual gains, encompassing two major forms: Cooperatives and common housing. The paper's focus is on housing in Denmark and Sweden, which many continue to see as examples of countries representing a measure of social justice and solidarity. Both countries have histories of housing forms based on some notion of use value. We outline these alternatives to market-based housing and discuss the transformation processes that have either undermined or challenged them. In essence, cooperatives and particularly common housing became common inheritances of social (rather than individual) wealth. However, the development in Denmark and Sweden demonstrates how easily housing commons for the many can be appropriated and turned into sources of exchange value for the few. This is very evident in the histories of Swedish and Danish cooperatives, where use-rights to common property with a few legislative changes became market commodities, subject to price inflation. For common housing, in both countries, if most clearly in Sweden, challenges partly derive from changes to the legal context of common housing, which broadly follows wider political shifts from ‚classic‘ social democracy to neoliberalism. Danish common housing has so far most successfully resisted this transformation. In important respect, this is because ownership of Danish common housing is located in strong organisations outside the neoliberalising state, while Swedish common housing generally is owned by the (local) state. In both countries it will take a concerted effort to sustain and develop common housing as a collective and non-commodified good.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Die schwedische Küste streckt sich über mehr als 2000 Kilometer von Haparanda an der finnischen Grenze bis nach Strömstad, an der Grenze zu Norwegen. Die Küstenzone beinhaltet mit 5 Millionen Menschen mehr als die Hälfte aller Einwohner des Landes und viele wichtige Wirtschaftsstandorte. Die Küste streckt sich von der kühlgemäßigten bis zur kaltgemäßigten Klimazone des Nordens, wo die Ostsee mehrere Wintermonate zugefroren ist. Auch die Tourismus- und Freizeitperspektive spiegelt diese geographischen Unterschiede wider, was im Folgenden durch drei Beispiele von Nord nach Süd illustriert wird.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Baltic Sea coast is a primary recreation and tourism space for both the Swedish population and incoming tourists, not least from neighbouring countries. Depending on the geographical preconditions, activities in the littoral zone comprise both typical beach activities and boating, and bohemian lifestyle. Second homes are a common form of accommodation, attracting Swedes to the shore during summer and wintertime.

- The ongoing globalisation and the rise of the knowledge economy creates new challenges for regional economic development. In order to cope with these challenges, regions need to strengthen the capacity of existing industries to innovate, but also transform their innovation systems and facilitate the emergence of new industries and development paths. The ability to transform and renew themselves, however, varies considerably between regions. This paper brings together insights from two streams of literature, namely Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG), which sheds lights on the path depended process of economic evolution, as well as Regional Innovation Systems (RIS), which provides a deeper understanding of the regional environment and contextual factors underlying firm innovation. We distinguish between different growth trajectories, from development along established paths (i.e. path extension), branching of exiting industries into related ones (i.e. path renewal), to emergence of entirely new industries (i.e. path creation). Then, we differentiate between types of RIS, namely, organisationally thick & diversified, organisationally thick & specialised, and organisationally thin. These regions differ in the underlying institutional structures, the strength of their knowledge generation systems, the diversity of knowledge bases, and the openness of innovation networks. The paper discusses in a conceptual way the relation between different types of RIS and different forms of path development. We conclude that not all regions have the same potential to renew themselves and embark on new growth paths, which implies different opportunities and challenges for policy makers concerned with regional development.
